Pineapple Plant Habitat:They, Ananas Comosus, are considered tropical plants and can usually be found between 30 degrees North and South latitude. Pineapples need a warm climate to survive; they usually live in temperatures between 25-32 degrees Celsius (around 77-89 degrees Fahrenheit) and cannot tolerate frost. The sunlight in a pineapple’s habitat is usually in large amounts most of the day. Fun fact: the more sunlight a pineapple gets the bigger it will be.

Hornworts Habitat:Ceratophyllum Demersum is an aquatic plant that usually grows in quiet lakes, ponds, marshes and streams. They are found all around the North American continent and to an extent in Europe. The provide shelter for many species in the lake ecosystem, including fish hatchlings to aquatic invertebrates.

Pineapple Plant Adaptions: * Leaves: Because of the excess need for water and sunlight, the Pineapple leaves are specifically designed to take in Sunlight, Water, in exponential amounts. The leaves have a translucent tissue that allows them to store water when inadequate rainfall or drought occurs, which is normal in the hot climates that pineapples grow in. The leaves also grow spirally so that every thirteenth leaf is directly above the first allowing an increased sunlight increase. * Roots: Pineapples have auxiliary roots that form on the leaf axis of the plant. This allows for direct water and nutrients absorption by the plant. * Photosynthesis: The Plant goes through a...

...The Effect of Pineapple Juice on the Gelling Time of Gelatin
Abstract:
Fresh pineapple is known for not being able to gel and this experiment is aimed to figure out why. Bromelain is an enzyme the breaks the chains in proteins making them inactive and pineapple are known for having it. In this experiment we tested other factors that pineapple contain to pin point what the culprit was. It was discovered the Bromelain was actually the reason that fresh pineapple won’t gel but if you boil the pineapple or pasteurize it, it denatures the enzyme, allowing it to gel.
Introduction:
Why does canned pineapple make excellent jell-o but fresh pineapple falls short? A few hypotheses are that the fresh pineapple is too acidic, that Bromelain, an enzyme found in pineapple might break down the protein bonds of collagen, or there is a high concentration of fructose in the fresh pineapple. Our prediction was that if any one of these three were correct then the fresh pineapple would not gel. Below is an experiment that we did with fresh pineapple juice and canned pineapple juice; we tested each of them to see which gelled first. We then tested each of our hypotheses above to see which property had a negative reaction to collagen.
Method:
To test our hypothesis first...

A Snapshot of a pineapple story
One of the great missionary accounts for me was Otto Koning’s pineapple story. God used his pineapple garden in Dutch New Guinea to conquer a huge weakness of his. The account happened over a period of seven years and the lesson to learn from this story is about yielding your personal rights. When you learn to yield your personal rights, instead of getting bitter, you get God’s peace.
A brief description of the author’s account takes place in the jungle. His desire was to influence the jungle natives positively and enjoy the fruit of his pineapple grove. In this jungle area, fresh fruits and vegetables were not plentiful. Otto arranged to have pineapple plants brought in and planted. He waited three years for those yummy pineapples to grow, but the natives stole them as they ripened! He tried to negotiate and compromise with the jungle people, but that never worked. He got so angry that he resorted to stronger measures to protect his property. His testimony as a missionary failed miserably and he only grew more and more frustrated and angry. He did pray and asked God for wisdom and it did come. He learned and chose to apply a scriptural principle about yielding his...

INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a fruit which was classified as a ripe and unripe. This was usually grown in a place where temperature and the weather are cold. This is abundant in the Philippines particularly in Bukidnon (Camp Philips Area) and this can be brought in the grocery or in the market. This fruit grows from 1-1.5 meters tall with 30 more through shape and pointed that grow from 30-100 centimeters long surrounding a thick stem.
Pineapple waste is a by-product of the pineapple processing industry and it consists of residual pulp, peels and skin. These wastes can cause environmental pollution if not utilized. Recently there are investigations/studies carried out on how to utilize these waste that’s why we turn to a practical use of the Pineapple peeling as stain remover. We observe that people who can’t afford commercialized stain remover use vinegar as alternative. And mostly of the vinegar are made up in coconut, apple and etc. We want to find out if pineapple peeling extract is effective as stain remover. That’s why we come up with this project/ experiment.

...﻿What is it?
Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapple juice and in the pineapple stem. People use it for medicine.
Bromelain is used for reducing swelling (inflammation), especially of the nose and sinuses, after surgery or injury. It is also used for hay fever, treating a bowel condition that includes swelling and ulcers (ulcerative colitis), removing dead and damaged tissue after a burn (debridement), preventing the collection of water in the lung (pulmonary edema), relaxing muscles, stimulating muscle contractions, slowing clotting, improving the absorption of antibiotics, preventing cancer, shortening labor, and helping the body get rid of fat.
It is also used for preventing muscle soreness after intense exercise. This use has been studied, and the evidence suggests bromelain doesn’t work for this.
Some people use a product (Phlogenzym) for arthritis (osteoarthritis) that combines bromelain with trypsin (a protein) and rutin (a substance found in buckwheat). Bromelain used in this way seems to reduce pain and improve knee function in people with arthritis.
There isn’t enough scientific evidence to determine whether or not bromelain is effective for any of its other uses.
How effective is it?
Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database rates effectiveness based on scientific evidence according to the following scale: Effective, Likely Effective, Possibly Effective, Possibly Ineffective, Likely Ineffective, Ineffective, and...

...Company Background
The Australian Pineapple Products Exporting Company (APPEC) was incorporated in Central Queensland, Australia by a group of 10 top pineapple-growers and merchants (5 large individual growers, 1 large fruit merchant already exporting, 4 packing sheds representing groups of growers). These 10 pineapple-growers are among the best operators from each of the four main pineapple-growing districts, Central Queensland, North Queensland, Southern Queensland, and the Wide Bay area near Bundaberg.
John Thompson is the CEO of APPEC and the Chairman of Australian Pines Pty Ltd
Grower shareholders of Australian Pines Pty Ltd have experiences on occasional trial export shipments of whole pineapple fruit to New Zealand and visit to Asian and US pineapple plantations
Australian Pines was a major participant in a government-sponsored study of the feasibility of dried pineapple production for export, and found out that it is indeed viable but did not cover the trading issues
Problems
The size, shape and weight of the fruit are not conducive to export
Most Asian and North American markets have their needs apparently well met by local producers, in the former case at much lower costs
Australian industry has lacked critical mass and capital which would readily enable pineapple production to be done by Australians in foreign countries
Quality and...

...Introduction
Pineapple (Ananas cosmosus) is a tropical fruit which grows in countries which are situated in the tropical and sub-tropical regions. It is native to Central and South America.
Pineapple is an important food which can be eaten fresh or eaten in a processed form. It is composed of nutrients which are good for human health. This is due to researches carried out on the relationship between nutrients in pineapple and human health. Processing pineapple in industries can leave a lot of waste which can cause serious environmental problems. Researches have been carried out recently to counteract this problem (food science, 2012).
Pineapple waste is a by-product of the pineapple processing industry and it consists of residual pulp, peels and skin. These wastes can cause environmental pollution problems if not utilized. Recently there are investigations/studies carried out on how to utilize these wastes.
Pineapple peel is rich in cellulose, hemicelluloses and other carbohydrates. Ensilaging of pineapple peels produces methane which can be used as a biogas. Anaerobic digestion takes place and the digested slurry may find further application as animal, poultry and fish feeds (Rani & Nand (2004) as cited in food science, 2012).
In the Philippines, the fermented pulp is made into a popular sweetmeat called nata de pina. The pineapple does...
